Liberals Subvert 2016 Election

Yet instead of analyzing what went wrong and trying to find new organizing principles, party leaders and activists are pointing fingers at the FBI and Russia, and engaging in a mad bid to overturn Trump’s Electoral College victory. -Michael Goodwin

This is no longer a case of sour grapes. It’s a pathological obsession bordering on mental illness. The left refuses to accept the reality that Trump won fair and square. -Mike LaChance

I’ve written before how the attempts to intimidate the Electoral College electors into changing their votes was a game changer for me. That went beyond politics into attempted coup territory. It wasn’t just a matter of opposing Trump or Trump policies, which is legitimate, but an attempt to nullify an election. -William A. Jacobson

In the aftermath of a uniquely polarizing presidential contest, the once-anonymous electors are squarely in the spotlight, targeted by death threats, harassing phone calls and reams of hate mail. -Kyle Cheney, Electors under siege, Politico

Refusing To Respect Election Results

Is Threatening Our Democracy

Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy.

Senior advisors to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign kept in touch by phone and email with a driver of the ill-fated, last-ditch effort to dump Donald Trump at the electoral college. The advisors kept tabs on Colorado elector Micheal Baca, who was helping try to persuade Republican members of the Electoral College to vote against Trump...

Baca and Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri exchanged text messages that indicated Palmieri's interest in being informed about the effort.

A Democratic lawmaker is desperately lobbying the Electoral College to shun Donald Trump, and vote for Hillary Clinton — even though he conceded Monday that the Republican won the election “fair and square.” The plea from Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) comes a week before the Dec. 19 vote, which is expected to affirm the results of the Nov. 8 election, in which Trump beat Clinton with 306 Electoral College votes.

65 Million Americans Should Threaten to Not Pay Taxes Until democracy is restored

A prominent Harvard University law professor is teaming with a California-based law firm to offer legal support for any members of the Electoral College seeking to oppose President-elect Donald Trump in violation of state law.

Larry Lessig says his new effort, which he calls “The Electors Trust,” will provide free counsel to electors, provided by the midsize firm, Durie Tangri, whose partner Mark Lemley is a longtime associate of Lessig’s.

More significantly, Lessig said, the Trust will offer a platform – with guaranteed anonymity – for electors to strategize about stopping Trump from taking the White House.

Electors around the country are being harassed with a barrage of emails, phone calls and letters — and even death threats — in an effort to block Donald Trump from being voted in as president by the Electoral College on Monday. The bullying is overwhelming Sharon Geise’s tech devices, but not her resolve to support Trump. The Mesa, Arizona, grandmother woke up Wednesday morning to more than 1,500 emails demanding she not carry out her legal duty to vote for the president-elect.

A slew of other has-been and B- or C-list celebs have piled on, calling for 37 “conscientious Republican electors” to swing the Dec. 19 Electoral College vote away from Trump. The Republican is expected to win 306 votes — more than the 270 necessary to win — based on the results from last month’s general election. -Daniel Halper

Love Trumps Hate...

"I've had people talk about putting a bullet in the back of my mouth. I've had death wishes or people just saying 'I hope you die.' Or, 'do society a favor, throw yourself in front of a bus.'"

One of Michigan’s 16 electors who will be called upon to cast a vote validating the election of Donald Trump in the Electoral College has testified on video that he and others in the state are receiving “dozens and dozens of death threats” from Hillary Clinton supporters urging them to switch their votes to Clinton.

Michael Banerian, 22, of Oakland County, Michigan, is one of that state’s 16 official electors who will meet in the state capital of Lansing on Dec. 19 to cast their votes for Trump. He told the Detroit News Thursday he has received threatening emails, lots of them, from people telling him to vote for Democrat Clinton instead of the GOP victor he is pledged to support.

"Electoral College: Make Hillary Clinton President."

"Donald Trump has not been elected president. The real election takes place December 19, when the 538 Electoral College Electors cast their ballots – for anyone they want.

If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, in 14 of the states in Trump's column, they can vote for Hillary Clinton without any legal penalty if they choose.

We are calling on “Conscientious Electors” to protect the Constitution from Donald Trump, and to support the national popular vote winner.

Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic."

Win or Lose an Election, We All Accept the Result

The basic functioning of our democracy relies on this principle: win or lose an election, we all accept the result. https://t.co/uePqLooLmQ

The only known “faithless” presidential electors to not vote for the candidate who won their states have so far been Democrats refusing to support 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton...

Out of Washington’s 12 total Electoral College votes, eight went to Clinton, three went to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and one went to Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American elder who has been opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline project in North Dakota.

The Democrats’ ongoing campaign of harassment against Republican members of the Electoral College is a scandal. It shows a complete lack of regard for our democracy. -John Hinderaker

People who threaten the electors should be charged with Federal crimes and locked up for 10 years or more. Ironic how some people are boo-hooing about Russia trying to affect the elections, and now our own misguided citizens are doing the exact same thing. -Mr. Gibbs

Major newspapers rebuked Donald Trump’s unprecedented refusal to say he will accept the results of the election Wednesday. In the aftermath of the third and final presidential debate, The New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal hammered the Republican presidential nominee for his “contempt for” and “breathtaking repudiation of American democracy.”

His opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, responded by calling his position “horrifying” and ripping him for always claiming things that don’t go his way are rigged.

[Dec 19, 2016]: The Electoral College voted today in state capitols across the country... Happily, the effort to bribe or threaten electors into subverting the will of their voters came to nothing... It is a fitting end to a deeply contemptible and anti-democratic campaign by far too many Democrats. -John Hinderaker
